Chapter 438: Twin Tracks
In the long run, the scale of existing power plants and desalination plants is far from sufficient, but it is still in the stage of trial and error adjustment through operation, and there is no need to adopt too high standards for new plants.
The limited coal resources simply cannot keep the plant running at a minimum.
In order to alleviate the energy shortage, a batch of modified war machines, disassembled into parts, moved underground, and then assembled to provide auxiliary power for the units and boilers under the control of the puppeteer's apprentice.
After the boiler drainage in thermal power generation reaches the saturated state, it enters the flash chamber, and then the pressure is reduced by the pressure reducing valve, and the high-temperature saturated steam is circulated and cooled, so as to efficiently utilize the energy of the thermal power station and improve the desalination rate of seawater one by one.
Primitive, rough, and even the noise of machines and puppets reverberating underground, making people feel a little irritated.
It was only after seeing the clear water, which was still slightly steaming, slowly pouring into the underground reservoir, that everyone's faces were slightly better.
Because most of the manpower to run the factory is ninjas from Sand Hidden Village, Daimaru has already paid attention to it, and has not developed in the direction of "sweatshop", but the resources are insufficient, and there is not much room for improving the working environment.
At first, I could only endure it a little, and when I was more comfortable in the future, I would pay more subsidies.
Fortunately, the physical fitness of ninjas is far beyond ordinary people, and ordinary people really can't adapt to this environment, and after a long time, most of them will fall into a sub-healthy state.
If it weren't for the production of fresh water, and the tasks given by Daimaru were well paid, even ninjas didn't want to work in such a place for a long time.
After patiently greeting all the hard-working compatriots, Airo and Orochimaru stood in front of a dark pipe with a diameter of nearly a man and listened intently to the murmuring of water flowing inside.
"Iron sand is actually not a very good material for water pipelines, stainless steel and antifouling alloy are too expensive, and I can't afford to use it now, so I can only make do with it first......"
With the puppet of the three generations of Kazekage, Daimaru alone, it took two or three days to build the entire underground water network with iron sand materials, at the cost of wasting a little time and a negligible chakra.
Sand iron is a thing that can be used for a short time, but it will definitely have to be replaced after a long time.
"Take your time, we can afford to wait!"
I nodded knowingly.
It is impossible to achieve such a big thing overnight, and it is already very good to be able to do this in a short period of time.
Daimaru stepped forward and unscrewed the valve that had been used for sampling and intake water, and a clear stream of water gushed out, filling a small bucket in a short time.
Without hesitation, I picked up a water scoop with a wooden handle, filled it and took a big sip.
"It doesn't taste very good, but it's really freshwater......"
"It's inevitable! The need to improve water quality will be discussed later! ”
Daimaru replied calmly.
There are many components in seawater, and there are many volatile ones, and distillation and desalination does not mean that all impurities can be removed.
It is good to be able to remove most of the salts and harmful substances, and the real industrial preparation of drinking water, the process is amazing, and the activated carbon filtration and chlorine water disinfection that people know are only one of the insignificant steps.
For the inhabitants of the Land of Winds, people who have a bad taste and are not used to it may have diarrhea if they drink too much, and this little thing is really not worth mentioning.
"I see!"
How could I, Airo, who is already the fifth generation of the Wind Shadow, not know?
Since the end of the last ninja war, there has been no large-scale war in the Land of the Wind for more than a decade.
After a long period of peace, the population naturally flourished, and natural resources were insufficient, so in order to survive, it was necessary to develop oases on a large scale and grab groundwater.
With money not enough fresh water and food, and more and more destructive internal mining, the entire Wind Nation is reaching its limit.
In the past, Luo Sha worked hard for the sake of Shayin Village, and worked hard for the survival of his compatriots at the expense of stigma, but the result was still a tragedy.
Sitting in the same position, I Ailuo, took over Luo Sha's unfinished business as a matter of course.
"When I go back, I'll try to get some resources for you......"
"Just have this heart!"
Daimaru smiled slightly,
"It's not yet to the point where we need to break the old pattern and turn the corner! Today, this is just one of the most important additions and backroads to the village......"
"Like you said, mission resources are skewed! Money is important, but people are more important......"
Daimaru affirmed what Iara's statement was:
"Interact with the village and connect the village to the northern forts, the south coast, and the various strongholds! There is no future outside the Sand Hidden Village and the Land of Wind......"
If possible, Daimaru even wants to establish an air route between the south coast and the village of Sand Hide, opening up daily communication between the north and the south.
Most of Daimaru's subordinates are members of the air combat unit, and it is not very formal for them to help clear the wasteland, because there is no record in the mission system of Sand Hidden Village.
Relying on personal prestige and the authority of the leader, it is not impossible to enforce it, but it certainly cannot be maintained for a long time.
On a sunny day, the subordinates who are already proficient in manipulating the wingsuit armor can fly back and forth in two days.
That's pretty impressive, a little faster than Maitkai going full speed.
The specific speed of flying in the sky and running on the ground naturally occupies a great advantage.
In order to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm, Daimaru sold local specialties, most of which were seafood, melons and fruits transported from the country of Sichuan and the country of fire, and scattered daily necessities, in the form of internal discounts, mortgages and even loans, so that they could take advantage of the convenience of the task to earn the difference in price between the two places.
Located in the inland land of the wind, in addition to the abundant groundwater, sand, gold and iron, and special biological materials are not lacking, almost everything is sky-high, especially seafood, agricultural and sideline products, and daily consumables, which can only be enjoyed by civilians on holidays.
Almost none of the subordinates who were able to be taken over by Daimaru in the early days were wealthy, and with a stable source of wealth opened up by Daimaru for them, it was not without a small supplement.
This kind of unique business is not something that anyone can do, and only members of the air combat unit have the ability to go from day to night, and the average ninja has to run around in the scorching desert for three or five days, and the seafood and agricultural and sideline products on his body have long been stinky.
There are no preservatives in the ninja world. Something like cold chain shipping.
The speed advantage of air transportation, Oromaru knows very well, especially in the case of almost no water transportation and very difficult land transportation, opened up the sea route from Sand Hidden Village to the south coast air transportation and then to the land of fire, bypassing the land of rain and grass that are constantly fighting and blocking traffic, and occupying the southern "Gold Coast", it is difficult to make a fortune.
